Fermions and the atomic lattice form the building blocks of condensed matter. While each of them are fundamentally different from the other, the interplay between the two leads to remarkable effects. In recent works, massless Dirac fermions, which have resurged in condensed matter, have been shown to couple to the elastic deformations of the lattice (strain) as an axial magnetic field (also known as chiral gauge field). Prominent examples where such fields can be realized include graphene [1]}, [2]}, [3]} and three-dimensional Weyl semimetals [4]}, [5]}, [6]}. For instance, in graphene, the generated field can be even as large as 300T, as observed via spectroscopic measurement of the Landau levels [7]}. A measurement of strain induced chiral magnetic field as well as its implications on electron transport in three-dimensional Weyl and Dirac semimetals materials is of high interest to the condensed matter community.
